In this lesson, we explore the powerful impact that God’s word has on our lives, based on James 1:22-24. Discover how being a "doer" of the word—not just a hearer—transforms us. The lesson covers five key ways the word of God works in us:

1. Makes Us Wise: Just like worldly knowledge, the Scriptures teach us spiritual wisdom for salvation (2 Timothy 3:15).

2. Saves the Soul: The word of God has the power to save us when we receive it with humility and act upon it (James 1:21-23).

3. Builds Us Up: A commitment to studying God's word strengthens our souls, like physical exercise builds the body (Acts 20:32).

4. Pierces and Discerns: The word helps us see ourselves as God sees us, cutting deep to reveal our true hearts (Hebrews 4:12-13).

5. Furnishes Us for Good Works: The Scriptures equip us for righteous living and good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Ultimately, the power of God's kingdom is revealed through how we live out His word (1 Corinthians 4:20). Let’s dive into this life-changing lesson!
